The PACIFIC Railroad Bonds.

The July statement of the public debt
oil the United States shows the following
facts in respect TO the bonds issued bv the
Government 10 the Pacific Railroads:
/. That the outstanding principal of
these bonds amounts to S64, ,623,5I2.
,. That the total interest on these
bonds paid by the United States amounts
to So, 193,03O.9S.
). That the interest repaid to the
Government by the companies, in the
way OF transportation service is S2O.SI9.-
81, and that repaid by cash payments OF
five per cent on net earnings is SIO3,-
6l9.75.
I. That the balance of interest paid
by the United States, and not repaid by
the companies, is 50S69, ,62O.36.
>. That the sinking fund, including
bonds and cash, amounts to SS,647, ,252 23.
The Pacific Railroad Companies are,
according to these figures, in debt to the
Government, on bonds issued bv them 10
the Government as security for those
issued by the Government to them, and
on interest paid by the Government but
not repaid by them, to an amount ex-
ceeding S90,OO0,0OO. This is a huge debt
and how 1t will ultimately be met and
disposed of is a question for the future
TO determine. Whatever may be the
fact, the vast advantages TO the country
and the Government from the building
of the Pacific Railroads show that the
policy OF Congress in regard to them was
eminently wise. Private capital simply
was not adequate to such a stupendous
undertaklng.-Ih Independent.

Circassian slaveyy.

ClrcasSian slavery is n very old social
institution in Circassia. Young girls were
there taught at \ tender age by their
parents TO look forward 10 il IA their des-
tlnation. Many went to ConStantinople
willingly, dazzled with the brilliant pros
pect held out to them of marrying a
wealthy Turk; and 50 general was the con-
sent OF parents TO this consignment of
their tender children to degradation and
lnfamy that the slave-dealer who came
among the CIrcassians to purchase their
offspring WAS usually looked upon As n
benefaCtor.
Once in Constantinoplc, the poor crca-
lures looked forward with certainty to be-
coming a wife of the Sultan, or NJ least of
some very high and wealthy ,iignitarv
But an infinitesimal proportion OF them
ever saw the face of the sultan: large
numbers We sold to Egypt, Tunis, Moroc-
co, and even Persia, while many fell into
bad an brutal hands. Even the palace of
Stamboul fell very far short of fulfilling
the anticipations of the few who entered
il.
One day, during the reign of the late
Sultan Abdul Medjid. an aged Circassian
peasant presented himself at the gate of
the palace inhabited by the Sultana IA
Clrcasslad)' second wife of Abdul. The
peasant announced himself as the father
ot the Sultana, and expressed great de-
sire 10 see her once more before he died
He was refused admittance, and the
daughters reply was, II will not and can
not look upon the face of the man who
hcsltated not TO sell me into slavery"

The HIghcst obseryatory I'm Europe.

inc hi&beSt eD>eENatOrY In EUROPE
In the heart of the province of Salz-
burg, on the Sonnblick, which rises to a
height OF l0,l77 feet, a great meteorolog-
ical observatory, the highest in Europe,
has Just been erected, which will be in
immediate communication with the cen
tral Meteorological Office at Vienna. The
walls are over metre thick. Telephone
communication has been established from
the summit Of the mountain, across the
Goldberg glacier down into the Rauris
valley, and when the telegraph wires
shall have been extended from TAKEN
bach the communication will be COM
plete. The view from the summit is
magnificent, ranging over a great part of
the Tyrol, Carinthia, and Salzburg. The
roof is Of copper, chiefly on account of its
electrical advantages. The situation is
very exposed, and is a sort of centre for
the discharge OF electrical disturbances.
There were many opportunities OF watch
ing the behaviour OF lighting during the
erection OF the building DIR. Ham, the
director OF the Central Meteorological In
stitute at Vienna, has superintendent all
the arrangements.

THE introduction of the megaphone on
shiPboard-a sort of telescope for the ear,
or machine for magnifying sounds said
TO be boon in prospect for mariners
Its design Is To enable a person to hear
or carry on Il conversation with people at
distance and it is constructed OF two
huge cone-shaped tubes, eight feet long
and three in diameter at the large end,
which diminish TO an apex in the form OF
rubber tubes small enough so place in the
ear. Between these tubes are two small
Ter ones constructed in the same manner,
but not more than half the diameter. By
placing the rubber tuDes in the car and
speaking through the smaller cones the
person can hear and can be heard at a
long distance, and it thus aids mariners

The Larscsr Dy namO Of the world.

The -1ge of .Stcel has been informed that
the Brush Electric Company, of Cleye-
land, Ohio, are constructing the largest
dynamo in the world. 1t will be l. it.
or Is #. long, 81 #. wide, and weigh 10
tons. The dynamo will give a current OF
l22, 500 amperes; number of watts, 245,-
600. In other words, il will be four times
the size and capacity of the Jumbo"
machine exhibited by Edison at the Elect
rical Exposition at Philadelphia. The
latter was equal to the task of running
5000 sixteen candlc-power incandescent
lights. This monster machine ofthe Brush
Company will be shipped to LOckport,
New York, and used for the smelling of
aluminium. Five hundred horse power
will be required to drive il, which will be
furnished by water, with the aid of tur-
bine wheels. From the particulars given
by our contemporary 1t would appear that
the dynamo in question will be the most
powerful in existence; but the largest
dynamo ever constructed Is, to our knowl-
edge, that designed by Mr.. ] +. II. Cor
don, and built by the Telegraph Con-
struction and Maintenance Company,
East Greenwich. Mr.. Gordon's enorm-
ous dynamo was I3 1t. 4 in. by 7 f., and
its total weight IS tons, the revolving mag
net wheel alone weighing tons, its diam
eter being s it. 9 in. Its electrical power,
however, is inferior to the new Brush
dynamo, and it may be said that the lat
ter represents four years progress in dyna-
mo construction.

Wise Florida Buxzards.

On the coolest morning of our late
disagreeable spell Of weather, saws the
Palatka Fla.) NeWs, the fishermen
built large fire on a point projecting
into the river from East Palatka, and,
after warming themselves, went on with
their fishing and left the fire burning.
Returning after time they were sur
prsed to see a group Of some fifty or
sixty buzzards standing about the fire,
kicking up all sorts of antics. Not
understanding such proceedings the
boats were fowedup pretty close and the
occupants watched the birds for some
time. II wasa very cold morning, and
the birds would stand with one side TO
the fire until il was warm. and then
they would deliberately turn around
and warm the other side. Those on the
outside of the group would get so eager
TO get within tile warmth OF the fire
that they frequently crowded the birds
on the inside nearly into the flames. and
the struggle was waged fierce and bitter
for advantageous positions.

A Good writer.

A Washington telegram says The
most accomplished penwopan or pen
man among the $4,000 and more Gov.
ernment clerks is Mrs. Helen VI. Avery,
of the Interior Department. Mrs.
Avery writes all the commissions, pro-
motions, and dismissals for the depart
ment. Her chirography is a model OF
uniformity and clearness. 1t is doubt
full if her superior exists even among
the professional teachers of writing.
The President is agreat admirer of Mrs.
Avery's penmanship, and frequently
refers 10 it in complimentary terms
when it comes, as it often does, under
his observance. Mrs. Avery is also a
clever pen-snd-ink artist. A head of
Tasso drawn by her few years ago is
said by cOnnOisscurS to be equal to the
finest steel engraving. She does her
work rapidly and apparently without
effort. Her duties occupy about two
hours day. The rest of the time she
employs rs she chooses. Her position
in the department is supposed to be as
near an approach to life tenure as the
most successful Government employs
can hope to obtain. Her salary is
S1,6O0 per annum.

Dallas (colored), who whipped a small
boy to death some time ago, was con
victed at the last term of Pittsylvania
Cont and sentenced to eighteen years
in the penitentiary. Your readers will
remember that Dallas became angry
with the boy, tied him down, and
whipped him with a leather strap till
he died. The defence Dallas offered
was that the boy had told him a lie and
he was chastising him for correction,
with no intention to whip him to death.
1t is learned here that G. f.. Putzel,
postmaster at Martinsville, has been re-
moved, and that Il. III. Jones will sue

nobody seems to know. Mr.. Putzel is
said to have made a very acceptable
postmaster.
Strong efforts are making here for a
great revival. DR.. Jones, of Richmond,
is conducting the services of the meet
ings at the Baptist church with good
results, and there have been forty con-
versions at Mr.. Bledsoe's meetings in

FoRT MoNBof, March 9, 1887.
"on with the dance; let Joy be unconancd."
This about expresses the sentiments
of the forty or fifty young people now
in the pavilion OF the Hygeia Hotel
enjoying the handsome cotillon given
by Miss Freeland, Of Richmond, to-
night, and which, despite the Lenten
season, is most charming social event.
1t is true that during the devotional
season many of the society people re-
ffrain from dancing, and upon this ac-
count we missed a number of familiar
faces among the happy throng. Mrs.
MejOr Calef, OF Fortress Monroe, and
Mrs. Charles NJ. Catlin, of New YORK,
were the ehoperoaeS, and, with Miss
Freeland. received the guests in
the parlor adjoining the pavilion.
The german commenced III 10
o'clock, and was led by Lieutenant
Charles ii. Treat, Fifth artillery, with
the fair hostess, who was alfred in an
exquisite dress of lilac tulle and dia-
rnond ornaments. Among the dancers
were Miss Katherine Montague and
Miss Nichols, Of New York the Misses
Biddle, Of Detroit Miss Lille Pres
ton, Of Davenport Miss Moore. of

Mrs. Stephen Vail, Of Washington (:
Mrs. Captain Booth, Mrs. Captain

THE OLD LOVE AND THE NEW
Mcdonald Takes Twenty Minutes 10
Decide, but He Cieaves to the Old.


James Mcdonald, of Toronto, left his
wife in that city and went to Newark
about five months ago, taking with him
good-looking brunette named Annie
Saunders. She is comely and only
twenty-five years old. The wife whom
be left shows the wear of nineteen years
of married life. Mcdonald and Miss
Saunders went to housekeeping at 374
Plane street. Newark. Mrs. Mcdonald
arrived in Newark yesterday morning
and had her husband arrested. She
greeted him in Justice Roder's court
room with the exclamation
"Oh, James, my beloved husband,
don't you love me any more? ?"
James looked at her faded face and
shook his head, as he said deliberately :
"No. ] don't believe | do. Think
a good deal more of Annie"
Judge Roder tried to look stern as he
said to Mcdonald 81 will give you
just ten minutes to make up your mind.
Will you return to Canada with your
wife or will you go to jail ?" and the
portly Judge took out his watch. At
the end of ten minutes he was
about to strike his call-bell for an
officer when Mcdonald looked up
from Armies face and asked for a
respite of ten minutes more. The
Judge granted it, and as the big clock
on the wall slowly licked away the sec
onds Mcdonald glanced from one wo-
man to the other, while his face be-
trayed the struggle that was going on
in his mind. Finally the Judge raised
his hand for a stroke on the bell, when
Mcdonald turned to his wife and said /:
81 will 60 with You"
Then he counted out his money and
handed 800 to Miss Saunders. who
stood weeping by the desk to his wife
he gave 500 more, and to the magis-
trate he gave a solemn promise that he
would stick to his first love.
